And, indeed, if instead of an evil genius, he had represented a guardian angel, he could not have shewn a more refined taste in his choice of an object to hover about." Just then they were approached by a young haymaker, to whom the white domino called out, "You look as gay and as brisk as if fresh from the hay-field after only half a day's work.
The Ole Haymaker would do some famous work before he descended in the West, sending his level rays through the wide interstices between the somber pines. By nine o'clock in the morning his beams would begin to fairly singe everything in the crowded pen. The hot sand would glow as one sees it in the center of the unshaded highway some scorching noon in August.
At the first hint of danger he scampers to safety in among the rocks, and there he scolds whoever has frightened him. There is no more loveable little person in all my great family than this little haymaker of the mountains of the Great West." "That haymaking is a pretty good idea of Little Chief's," remarked Peter Rabbit, scratching a long ear with a long hind foot.
On Sunday there are no wages to pay to the labourers; but the sun, if it shines, works as hard and effectually as ever. It is always a temptation to the haymaker to leave his half-made hay spread about for Sunday, so that on Monday morning he may find it made.
But here her eyes settled on Kenelm; and there was something in his aspect so unlike what she expected to see in an itinerant haymaker, that she involuntarily dropped a courtesy, and resumed, with a change of tone, "The gentleman shall have the guest-room: but it will take a little time to get ready; you know, John, all the furniture is covered up."
At ten o'clock we still had a good many melons; but toward noon business became very brisk, and at one o'clock only six melons were left. In honor of this crop we rechristened the old haymaker the "cantaloupe coaxer." There was so much to do at the old farm that we rarely found time to play games.
I can see it in Mr. Hammond's manner. 'What! freckles and sunburn, and the haymaker, and all that? cried Maulevrier, laughing. 'What an expressive manner Jack's must be, if it can convey all that like Lord Burleigh's nod, by Jove. Why, what a goose you are, Mary.
Now it happened that, during the time Mr. Hill was putting the foregoing queries to Bampfylde the second, there came to the door or entrance of the audience chamber, an Irish haymaker, who wanted to consult the cunning man about a little leathern purse which he had lost, whilst he was making hay, in a field near Hereford.
The others followed, and when, shortly after, Laura looked out at her window, she saw Guy, with his coat off, toiling like a real haymaker, to build up the cocks in all their neat fairness and height, whistling meantime the 'Queen of the May, and now and then singing a line.
Once in the haymaker it dried so fast that you could often see a cloud of steam rising from the scuttles in the glass roof, which had to be left partly open to make a draft from below. Of course, we used artificial heat only in wet or cloudy weather. When the sun came out brightly we depended on solar heat.
